Kasargod: ICYM helps raise money for boy suffering from cancer

Kasargod, March 22, 2018 : Cancer is a word which disturbs everyone's mind when they hear it. The same is true with a 14 year old boy Austin of Vorkady parish who is studing in 9th std and suffering from blood cancer. He is currently under treatment at Fr Mullers medical hospital and his treatment would cost about 5 lakh for 3 months.

Recently Austin's father expired due to an accident. The family is going through a very hard time. So the youth of ICYM Kasargod deanery took a step forward to help this family under the leadership of ICYM Kasargod council committee with a mission ‘Prajith Kalar Muje Urovni’. They requested every unit president along with the unit members to collect the amount in thier parish through box collection on Sunday, March 4.

They had a box collection in 13 parishes and received a good response and support from everyone and collected a total sum of Rs 3,71,071. On 20th of March, ICYM Kasargod deanery director Fr. Victor DSouza and ICYM president Jeevan Kollangana handed over this amount to Austin's family.
